Targeting Interventions To Those With Lower Economic Advantage Reversed Screening Rate Disparities

“Similarly, this study found that a combination of mobile phone-based intervention plus a DHW service (with or without a health fair invitation) can improve breast cancer screening rates, including among women of low EA newly eligible for their screening mammogram (intervention impact among newly eligible women of higher EA is uncertain). This work also adds new information regarding the ability of interventions to reduce screening disparities among those of different EA, the effectiveness of each intervention within populations of different EA, comparisons between multiple intervention arms within a payor group, and the inclusion of a health fair as one of the interventions to improve screening rates.”
